On Friday, May 19, 2017, Providence College culminated its Centennial anniversary with Providence College: 100 Years of Light, ​​featuring WaterFire Providence®. This festive event in the heart of downtown Providence brought the Friar spirit to the city we call home. PC’s Centennial provides a unique opportunity to reflect on our past, recommit to our founding ideals, and plan for a bright future. It is also a time to celebrate our successes and hold the party of a century.

During Providence College: 100 Years of Light, alumni and friends were invited to the Steeple Street WaterFire Arts Festival Plaza, where members
of the PC community gathered to enjoy musical performances,
refreshments, gondola rides, and camaraderie. We gathered at the
basin of Waterplace Park and enjoyed a spectacular 100-torch Ring of Fire
procession and lighting commemorating the 100-year anniversary of Providence College.
